More pix of the weekend....

 

 

 

 

 

 Ellie and Jack have sooo much fun together!

 

 

 

 

 

 The above pix makes me laugh...not really sure why.

 

 

Quincy doing what Quincy does:  Read.  She always manages to find someone that will be her (captive) audience.  

 

Ellie and Jack doing what they love best:  Playing with electronic gadgets (especially when they are attached to the hand of an older cousin :)

 

A cousin sandwich.

 

Guess who's 50? (not me!...yet)

Uncle Bill!

 

Scenes from the weekend.... 

Jill broke her arm the day before Bill's surprise party :( 

.....which meant Bill had to do all the party shopping.....

.......which kind-of nixed the surprise aspect of it.

 

 

 

 The summer solstice sunset was the prettiest sunset I think I have ever seen....

Swimteam, 2013

 

We love our swim team.  And I mean loveeee it!

 

 

Ellie aged-up and is now swimming with the 7-8 year-olds.  With that comes a whole new responsibility---swimming in more events (like the 100 IM---which she is not too happy about)....but it also means more awards (which she IS happy about :)

 

 

 

 

The main reason we love our new team is because of the coaches.  They should all be teachers when they choose their careers---they are just really good around all ages of kids.

 

 

And they're also really good swimmers! 

Above is a picture of Coach Kevin---he's really really really good!  (like being-scouted-by-colleges-good)

 

It's not a party until Julie and Dawson show up :)

 

One of the girl's best friends is on the team with them this year.

 

 

 

Quincy makes swimming look effortless.

 

 

 

 

 Ellie is just a beast in the water.

 

   

 

I have no idea who the little boy is behind me but he sure is cute!
